I was more curious about the massive storm's impact upon bird species or what might have been pushed down unto the lake. I didn't see anything rare which was my hope, but the lake was quite choppy. Ruddy Ducks and an uptick of Northern Shovelers was all I could observe.
On the Upper Pool , both the pair of Bufflehead and three Wood Duck were holding their own, braving the storm's fury.
More preoccupied about all the tree damage I saw, I say it was very extensive..A very busy week for sure cleaning up the mess. :(
